When talking over the new medication that was promised to be a miracle cure for aloepcia with a friend, she asked why I would not want to go on a clinical trial.
I listed the reasons I mentioned in an earlier post, but she did not accept this.
She said you need to understand exactly what the side effects. They can be so varied and may be very manageable
Just because a drug has side effects, it doesn't mean that you should rule it out.
Mmmmmmm.
My thinking was that I don't want to create health complications in my life, when they don't exist already today.
She then challenged me to find out more. Only then should I decide.
I love it when people challenge my thinking and open my mind up for new ideas.
I really had ruled out taking these JAK inhibitors without really understanding my decision.
So I committed to finding out more.
And when I do, you know you will hear first?
How do you make your decisions?
Like I do, based on gut, or are you rather the data gatherere? Or do you do something else?
Do tell..........
I am with your friend all the way. Not necessarily that you should take the drug as i think may be best to stay bald fora variety of reasons. But i personally feel that when big decisons need to be made -hours and hours of research and time needs to be devoted to them. No joke for adhd and scoliosis i would say i clocked close to 1000 hrs of internet andinterviews with people who have experienced them and doctors etc. for me important issues deserve lots of attention.
